This is a very simple way to make arrays type hinted!
$list = new UserCollection(new User());
OK
$list = new UserCollection('User');
Will throw:
Vistik\Exception\InvalidTypeException: Item (string) 'User' is not a Vistik\Example\User object!
Run composer require vistik/typed-collections
Out-of-the-box collections for:
- Booleans
- Integers
- Floats
- Strings
- Emails
- Numbers (float or int)
They can be created with out-of-the-box laraval style helpers:
bCollect([true, false])
- To create a BoolCollectioniCollect([1, 2, 3, 4])
- To create a IntegerCollectionfCollect([3.14, 22/7, 6.66])
- To create a FloatCollectionsCollect(['hello', 'world''])
- To create a StringCollectioneCollect(['hello@example.org', 'write@me.com'])
- To create a EmailCollectionnCollect([1, 2, 3, 4, 3.14, INF])
- To create a NumberCollection
Look how easy it is:
use Phpsafari\Example\User;
class UserCollection extends TypedCollection{
protected $type = User::class;
}
2 simple steps
- Create a Class eg.
AccountCollection
extendTypedCollection
- Just replace
protected $type = 'Vistik\Example\User';
with your class
or
If the check is more then just a is_a
check, you can overwrite the function: isValidItem($item)
in your new Collection class
- Build upon Illuminate\Support\Collection
- Very simple to implement custom Collections
